    Hyper....have you seen Mike lately? He acts like a 10 year old on speed!

    I didn't say the '08 shows sucked or weren't good shows. I'm just saying that they were very rusty on this tour. Train wrecks all over the place. People don't seem to be noticing and that's fine. Every show has it's faults. I just wish they would practice more. It isn't like their music is super-complicated...they're not playing Frank Zappa compositions.

    I've definitely noticed it - it's certainly their sloppiest tour ever.

    Too bad it was just a short tour, the tour was over as soon as they were starting to sound a little better.

    I didn't think much of the first US leg in 2006 either but they improved greatly by the West Coast shows, it's hard to know if it would've been the same this time around though.

    The root of the problem is that nobody seems to notice if they completely screw up or not and they know it, so what's their motivation to rehearse?

    It blows me away that anyone can listen to this year's boots and say they're playing at the same level as even 2003 or 2006, there's no explanation other than blind ignorance. 2008 should've been called The Emperor's New Clothes Tour...

    This last tour sounds great to me, obviosuly havent been but the boots blow me away.

    sure if you analyse them like a tit might, you might find the odd mistake, but for the most part it seems to me like they were bang on form. In fact they almost sound really into it but in a relaxed comfortable way, like they are really enjoying it....

    sloppyness? whatever

    Today, instead of being awesome, the boys spend their weekends watching Teletubbies and ghey shit like that....having a nice little Saturday at Home Depot, maybe Bed Bath & Beyond (if there's enough time).
    Do you remember Rock & Roll Radio?

    Ed actually stopped being hyper in 93' , every once in a while would go nuts, but he is actually more energetic now.

    It was a short tour, they have kids now, there're all tried. There was probably lots of bottle drinking, crying and screaming and that was just the band themselves.
    Here’s a question you might need to ask
    What’s self destruction and how can we last?

    1) We have people who still consider the old "Soldiers' Field" boot to be a classic. Once everyone lets go of THAT, then I'll reconsider the quality of the 2008 tour.

    2) I saw three shows on this tour, and 2 out of three are up there with my favorites.

    3) '03 and '06, with a few exceptions weren't really any better than '08. Shit, Mansfield III form '03 is regarded as the "be alll - end all" by MANY people, and it's sloppy as hell! Great setlist, great concept, but sloppy.

    4) For a short tour, the band was as tight as it was going to get. The band seemed to really enjoy themselves, as did the fans.

    As far as the original post, I'm really glad that the band DOESN'T jump around like a bunch of rabbits on speed anymore. There were some classic shows in the "old days", but the band is much more consistant now. Mike still goes apeshit, but that comes natural to him. If the other guys did it, I'd just be embarresed.

    Ed looked a bit nervous when he first got up there. ;)

    I prefer them NOT to run around looking like idiots...
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    What are you getting at? This seems like a pointless thread.
